What better way to wrap up the Christmas break than by using vector calculus, the golden ratio, and trigonometry to calculate the angles on the faces of this zonohedron:
Now I just need to figure out a way to build it while maintaining its lattice-like structure. Bent wire, perhaps?

you could have them make it for you if you could port the info to a cad file of some type.
3d printing may work, but I'm hesitant to pursue it for two reasons:
1) It costs money.
2) I'd like to make the model myself.
It gives me a greater sense of accomplishment if I'm the one who builds it.
question.....do you look for ways to be more nerdy? just wondering.... ^_^
